Perspectives

While watching Bad Boys 2, something was really noticeable to me about the movie. It was about a drug lord in Miami and had the typical blood and guts plus high speed chase entertainment. A little over the top for my taste but Will Smith and Martin Lawrence did give it some levity, occasionally. 

However, what got my attention was the drug lord's attitude towards his mom and daughter versus a perceived enemy. It reminded me of the old mafia days where their women and children were kept out of "family" business. In the perspective of these women and children, who were treated with love and respect, they didn't see them as evil. Not so with their enemies, which is understandable. 

This is why I feel we have such polarity in the United States (and other countries that have theirs), they are seeing what they are being told to see or what they choose to see. 

I can't help but wonder if the mafia or drug lords' women knew the opposite perspective, even told that truth, but they turned a blind eye in order to protect what they had going for them or out of fear it might happen to them too. 

I'm sure our politicians and media know how to feed into that mentality. Ignorance isn't bliss. 

Which is why I'm glad my dad told me about the bank robbery perspective when I was a teen. He said the police have to listen to all the witnesses in order to form a conclusion... build up a case. Because they were all seeing things from their perspective. But each one felt it was the truth. Well, it was "their" truth,  because it was what they witnessed. Eventually, the police take all those puzzle pieces to put the puzzle together. 

In regards to what any government or media "feeds" us as truth, don't forget the others who are witnessing things. You may see a benevolent situation, where others may see the opposite. 

Or, there could be many truths to a situation. The side you choose is based on your perspective, which is why listening to other's perspective can give us a better understanding of any situation. 

Like putting a puzzle together that has a thousand pieces, it often takes time to see the overall picture.

Emotional Dust Storms?

The picture below doesn't show you the small mountain and other houses that are concealed because of the dust storm. Take a look. Do you see anything?

When wanting truth, our court system will go by what they "see with their eyes;" what we have as actual facts. The facts are there are several houses in this picture with two people. There is a small area of flat land and a dust storm. That's it! Everything else, unless can be proven "without a doubt," will become inadmissible in our United States court of law.

Evidence that is within the dust storm is like our emotions; we can speculate until the end of time, but do we know without a doubt what is there? Do we "see" anything else? Would a court care about how we "feel?" No, because these feelings are subjective and can raise a dust storm of concealment and falsity in their own rights.

They don't care about something that is there that cannot be seen as facts. They don't care about supposed hidden houses or hidden mountains. They don't even care about empathy and how we feel things may be there. Our country is not trained to understand more then what is currently allowed within our judicial system ... tangible facts.

Why? Because I have seen where even "psychics" can be influenced by subjective thought. I too have to be extremely careful while dealing with emotions, especially during a dust storm of controversy. Which is why I am perplexed with all the facts presented, that people still get caught up in said dust storm of subjection.

Take a look at the picture again. Do you sense anything in the dust storm that I mentioned above?

What if I told you that what I wrote (twice) was a subjective thought to have you believe something that's not true. Because it could be done ... because you wanted to believe it? After all, why would I lie to you?

Understand? You see how easy this can be done? "Dust storms" can crucify people ... similar to the picture below.

Know the facts and don't become part of the emotions (dust storms) of propaganda or subjective thought. If at all possible, wait until the dust settles.
